This election proved the power of the Internet, and of the people who used their voices to the fullest.

But now, they will pay for it.

Will it mean the end of free speech?

Clearly, the deep state was not defeated overnight, but a loose network of hackers, researchers, alternative media outlets and long-term constituents of the “vast rightwing conspiracy” did manage to overpower the establishment’s choice of Hillary for president – and managed to embarrass the mainstream media while they were at it.

Even if they won’t get everything they wanted under President-elect Trump, they proved that a number of leading websites, and quite a few underground blogs, aren’t just promoting fringe views, but have become influential and often damning, even to the most high profile players. The Internet, and in particular, the alternative media, counterbalanced the mainstream effectively in 2016, and defeated their narrative.

And now, those who control the corporate-dominated flow of information want to end that competition.

What this year’s Presidential election has proven is that alternative media is a force to be reckoned with, and the establishment is scared shitless.

But they won’t let it happen again.

[…] Today’s actions by Google and Facebook provide further evidence that the establishment media and Deep State politicians are preparing a digital lock down on any and all information that has not been approved by an as of yet unknown Truth Panel.

Though this effort may be subtle, there is every reason to think it will be brutal for free speech. It could prove to be the last laugh for Hillary Clinton, who blames her media opponents, Wikileaks hackers and even the failure of her own friends and presstitutes in the media for destroying her campaign with piles of Clinton family dirt.

Major outlets are now circulating a list of websites that have been deemed to be “fake news” and worthy of censorship that was compiled by… you guessed it… a random community college assistant professor trolling websites they’d like to have removed because they disagree with it.

Like clockwork, floating around on the Internet now is a list of these “fake” sites authored by Melissa Zimdars, assistant professor of Media and Communications at Merrimack College.

She has deemed all of these sites as “false, misleading, clickbait-y, and/or satirical ‘news’ sources”.

Just to name a few examples, The Daily Sheeple, The Free Thought Project, Infowars, Breitbart, Lew Rockwell, Before Its News, Intellihub and even CoastToCoastAM.com were flagged as “fake news” sites that should be blocked, removed and/or censored.

As many online account holders know, there are many subtle ways of suppressing or blocking accounts, including demonitization that takes away an author’s incentive. That is what Google is attempting right now by denying ad sense revenue to sites they disapprove of, while they are still the masters of quietly de-listing sites in the algorithm so that fewer people will find their links – and those being targeted may never know what happened.

Meanwhile, the State Department just refused to recognized reporters from RT at a press conference. Spokesman John Kirby got testy over a question about Syria hospital bombings and retorted: “I’m not going to put Russia Today on the same level with the rest of you who are representing independent media outlets.”

A major blowback is underway by the corporate, establishment media in retribution for their embarrassing failure in stage-managing a cakewalk election for Hillary Clinton. CNN’s parent company Time Warner (recently bought out by AT&T) was in the top ten of Hillary’s donor list, along with most of the largest Wall Street banks, Google’s parent company Alphabet, Inc. and Microsoft. It is no surprise to see many of these players acting in accordance to de-list dissenters.

There needs to be an immediate response to this by big private money funding for alternative platforms that will potentially take on google and facebook. That seems impossible, but if 60 million Americans just voted for Trump, I think that opposing tech platforms to Google, Facebook, Youtube, and Twitter should go into development immediately if they haven’t already, and they should be embraced by the folks with brains. Obviously there would be support.

Robert Mercer, hedge fund billionaire funded Breitbart. He funded Trump’s campaign and installed Bannon and Conway in Trump’s campaign. As Cruz’s funder, he made Cruz kowtow to Trump.
Freedom of the press died out with corporate control as they bought up or ran small newspapers out of business.
Internet has opened it up again, but internet is also subject to control.
Trump is severely biased against the First Amendment. Very Stalin, with his thin skin and rages and grudge holding and get even at any cost. He has declared against every aspect of the First Amendment, freedom of religion, speech, and press.
Expect severe pressure against the First Amendment.
Trump has also come out agreeing to gun control, but backed down later.
Trump wants to expand NSA spying on citizens, furthering illegal search and seizure, our rights lost since Bush did not come back under Obama, and clearly not coming back under Trump. Stop and frisk was declared unconstitutional by a federal court, then not taken to the Supreme Court because of expense, knowing it was clearly illegal search and seizure. Trump wants Stop and Frisk.
Trump unduly admires dictatorship, is a globalist businessman, and has married his favorite child into a different clan.
There are groups fighting for our Constitutional rights, I have worked in this area for a couple decades. I hope some of you get inspired and start fighting for the First Amendment as well as the Second.
The entire Bill of Rights is going down under continuous pressure from the D/R corporate machine, folks. Keep in mind that corporate structure is inconsistent with democracy, CEOs are dictators in their companies. For a paycheck you have to work, but also lose most of your freedoms. CEOs do not make good Presidents, too autocratic.
Trump is President, we must work against his temperament to retain our First Amendment rights.

I wonder how SHTF will stand up to this attack against Freedom of Speech?

We could do more actual prepping info in articles. Then just pass on news in the comments section. The trouble is, judging by the laws in Europe where opinions are illegal and a person’s opinion can get them jail time, which comes right out of Communism 101, specifically Stalin’s decree that anti-cement ism is punishable under the law by one bullet to the back of the neck; and in Europe haul a cost denial is punishable by as much as ten years in prison.

We know who is behind this attack on free speech. They are perps pretending persecution. They are always attempting to make their victims look bad, while presenting themselves in the most esteemed and respectable cloth. But no thinking person does not see through the false cloak of dignity, to the truly sordid truth they hide so adroitly.

B from CA, 95% of all media sources in the US; print, online, radio and TV; are owned and controlled by six corporations and the CEOs all belong to the tribe. Richard Salant of CBS News once said, “Our job is to give people not what they want, but what we decide they ought to have.” In a word, CENSORSHIP!

Well is turned out the Lunatic Fringe wasn’t so lunatic and wasn’t just a fringe. They beat the established networks. I think what we are seeing is a knee jerk reaction. Ill bet the loss of revenue will make them revise their position.

An informed citizenry does not need censorship. Many of those sites are click-baity but you know what?: the powers that be let fascist, radical Muslims publish the most heinous and evil content on social media and the web for over a decade (executions, head chopping, rape etc.). But now they are pissed at Breitbart etc.? They even admit the Muslim stuff is rancid and radicalizes dumb-ass Muslims to become jihadis.

The solution to misinformation or bad news is debate, knowledge and a free media that can counter lies and manipulation. Not censorship or jailing journalists.

Breitbart is now controlled by Robert Mercer, hedge fund billionaire. He put Bannon and Conway into Trump’s campaign. He came out against Clinton because she backed a transactional tax on millions of computer controlled stock trades (where Mercer’s money came from).
Mercer won. McCain wanted to investigate Mercer, so Mercer came out against McCain with big money. McCain held on.

The Soros money will run out eventually, especially if he has to bankroll all the MSM news outlets and papers. Wikileaks showed America what the truth really is. Hillary or the MSM never once said what was released was not true, they just said that we should not be able to know about it. Incredibly enough saying that Russia is to blame for the truth being exposed, and this is worse than the bright light of truth it exposed.

Everyone I know is switching channels and cancelling cable and papers. Goodbye MSM.

“The Soros money will run out eventually, especially if he has to bankroll all the MSM news outlets and papers.”

Much of what you say is true but Soros isn’t running out of money. Soros is the front man in the media eye. Thats not accidental as the main players are nameless and faceless hiding in the shadows like rodents.

Are you really surprised???????
They lost and now they are striking back the only way they can. This is just the Battle. The WAR has just begun, and when the smoke clears we will see how will still be standing and I bet it AIN’T them!!!

Only so long as they agree with and kowtow to Trump. He is going after anyone who does not. Besides, Breitbart will be controlled by a hedge fund billionaire… Who pulled Bannon into Trump’s campaign… He put big money into Breitbart.
Just like Koch brothers bought and controlled the tea party for their own ends.
A free press is not dependent on Trump’s whims, it is constitutional. Saying your favorite sites are Trump’s Pravda already admits that they are subject to his whims. Free to lionize Trump, not free to disagree.

Wonder what would happen if everyone cut their internet off? Think about how much money they would lose. We could take that money and start our own newspaper, and mail to subscribers. We need to show them they’re not going to bully free speech.

I need the internet at the moment, but am considering shutting it down after I move. It feeds the NSA and is shifting to censorship very quickly.
The founding fathers did not believe government would keep our rights without pressure from citizens.

This election has proved that the main stream media has lost any credibility they once had. No one w/ half a brain takes anything they say seriously anymore. They are collapsing and desperate, but with all the levers of power w/ the Repubs, they are now lashing out in vein, digging their own graves. God fuckin riddins to all of them.!!!!!

In two months Obama is supposed to leave office. He sure doesn’t seem like a lame duck. People are turning to the Internet for their news for a reason. The mainstream media aren’t doing the job. I’m hearing things on this website that aren’t covered by the media. Why is the US giving up control over the internet after we developed it? Why is Obama so interested about news on the internet when he only has two months left?

How about not using fecesbook/using goog search engines/ect.Why do we need these fucks to visit the sites we want.How about we to best of ability not use these services/spy machines at all?!Seriously,really do not see the problem,and,they really for most part close down the net,does not mean you need to support/read/watch faux news,in fact,fight it /hack it/destroy it to best of ability.Th enet totally shuts down either some huge disaster or govt. move,either way we prep for both and well,will then truly be grateful for prepping!

Everything that is taking place today is End Times! The coming global financial implosion which will be blamed on Trump even though Obozo did most of it, censorship, truth denial, fear mongering, false religions including those who say one many can forgive another man’s sin; all of it spinning down the drain of eternity. Believe are don’t believe it but it won’t change the outcome, the sound of the eternal clock continues and man is nothing more than “dust in the wind” (Thanks Kansas)!
